How to Turn on the Heater in Nissan Qashqai?
2 Answers
Adjust the air conditioning knob to the red zone, and the air conditioner will blow warm air. Here are the steps to turn on the heater in Nissan Qashqai: 1. After starting the Nissan Qashqai, wait for 5-10 minutes until the water temperature rises to the normal level. Then, you can turn on the heater. Adjust the air circulation mode to internal circulation and set the air conditioner to the heating mode. The blue zone of the air conditioner is for cold air, and the red zone is for warm air. Therefore, turn to the blue zone for cooling and the red zone for heating. 2. Do not press the A/C button. Adjust the air conditioning gear to the appropriate level. The warm air direction is forward and towards the feet, while the cold air direction is forward.
Turning on the heating in the Qashqai is quite simple. Here's how I usually do it when driving: First, start the engine and wait for about three to five minutes until the coolant temperature gauge rises to the middle position (this is when the heat source becomes available). Then, rotate the left temperature knob on the AC panel all the way to the red side for maximum heat, and adjust the right fan speed button to level 2-3. The key is to turn off the A/C light—since heating doesn’t require the compressor, keeping it on would just waste fuel unnecessarily. You can choose either footwell or windshield mode; I recommend using the recirculation mode to warm up the cabin faster. Remember, in winter, don’t rush to turn on the heater as soon as you get in the car—wait until the coolant temperature rises to avoid blowing cold air and potentially harming the engine. The Qashqai’s heating system is quite efficient; it can warm up the cabin in just five minutes.
